Cliff Walking
04:40
|
|||
I can't be / what you want / me to be / so I go back to being me
You're not my lover / you only love me / when I'm lost / in your fiction / it's a fickle plot
I'm no bounty hunter hiding in the trees, here's my rifle, I'm surrendering
I'm not your captor / I don't want / to tie you up / down with bondage / I want love
I'm not sadistic / I've no interest / in causing pain / in your body / let pleasure reign
I'm no necromancer / fashioning a ghoul / I'm cliff walking / I'm a fool
white dog on my trail / you open me up / a flower in my hand / I look at the sun
my toes to the edge / I feel your touch / beam through my being / a chasm of love
all this ectoplasm / spewing from my core / I'm so greedy / I want more
all these lovers / lining up / around the block / in their costumes / cat, cow & hawk
you can't be / what I want / you to be / so I go back / to being me
It's not a dream / bathed in light / always seams / so familiar / it's happening
I'm no vampire / on some hunt / for your blood / take my hood off / and I walk out in the sun
white dog on my trail / you open me up / a flower in my hand / I look at the sun
my toes to the edge / I feel your touch / beam through my being / a chasm of love (x2)

Role Play
04:14
|
|||
mistress may I sing you
a song for you to see through
my devotion to your cause
your hypnotic eyes
put me in a trance
make me free of my demise
tie me up
make me sorry
I was in a rush
bind my eyes
fill me with the shadow
of surprise
spill the wax
from the holy candle
sanctify our loving acts
I was never one
for dignity
I have none
your perfect form
spilling poetry into
the norm
you were sent here
to change the world
free it from it's fear
since we met
the universe has undergone
mutation heaven sent
I can't explain
the way you leave me
quivering in ecstasy & pain
looking up at you
feeling all the yearning in
my being bleeding through
I could never have
enough of your love
but you can't break my heart
it was shattered
before you learned to swim
what's another chip
from a sculpture
missing half it's limbs
break me into bits
set me free from plaster
be my master, take me in
I could never have
enough of your love

Intention
03:16
|
|||
If I could go / back and still know / what I know now / I would
never trifle with dark arts / intention is real / it makes you feel / the way you wish
with for the best / for your self / and someone else will come and
welcome love into your life / intention is real
wish for the best / for everybody else
cause if you do / you'll do / good for yourself
cause if anything / should happen for them
you'll never know / if you were the culprit
if I could go / back and still know / what I know now / I would
be so grateful for my life / intention is real / it makes you feel / the way you wish
with for the best / for your self / and someone else will come and
welcome love into your life / intention is real
wish for the best / for everybody else
cause if you do / you'll do / good for yourself
cause if anything / should happen for them
you'll never know / if you were the culprit

Encounter
03:14
|
|||
I / need you to listen close-ly to me or I am not / to blame for what becomes
who are you? what's your name? who sent you? and what is your objective?
you think you / you can come / in the zone / without an objective?
dangerous / to be here / unless you have purity and focus
I need you / to do / what I say and follow my instructions
or I / can't be / held / responsible for what happens
keep / your focus on the feel / the sensation that it's real / only pleasure on your mind
I / need you to listen close-ly to me or I am not / to blame for what becomes
I need you / to trust / me / and follow my instructions
close your eyes / focus all / your attention on sensations I am sending
with love / to heal / everything / through simulated abduction
keep / your focus on the feel / the sensation that it's real / only pleasure on your mind
I / need you to listen close-ly to me or I am not / to blame for what becomes
you / get me out of my head / and into present tense / and I'm glad to be alive

Adventure
03:36
|

sitting in my room / singing to myself
wishing you were here
listening to you / hearing your reflection
on your day today
always wanting you / wanting to have touch to
make it all ok
-
and when I'm with you / off on an adventure
flowing through space
knowing you are true / feeling the connection
touching ecstasy
take me in your arms / tell me what you want me
to do with you

Fan Fiction
03:33
|
|||
I've been comin' across the land / by rail and foot & car
sunbeams pulling on my hair / that strong insistent star
pulling me through endless fields / working on the farm
folding me in every shape / seldom doing harm
cradle robber / you're the one for me
men have always been with me / as firm as they could be
guiding me with open hand / over bended knee
when I was a child they were ghosts / that I could see
running through the city now / I feel them following
cradle robber / you're the one for me
gentle as you are my love / far fragiler than me
if you want to stay my love / you'll have to stronger seem
be a cruel professor / & I'll be your student fair
be a longtime family friend / entrusted with my care
take me by the throat my love / strike me in the face
be the man they told you not to be / in any case
cradle robber / you're the one for me

Hymn
04:48
|
|||
on a living ship / floating in orbit / we learned to live / in earth-like forest
sky is not sky / trees are not trees / what is above remains unseen but is
bringing ourselves back into alignment with love
hope they are benign / and do not wish / to cause us harm / but to assist us in / bringing ourselves back into alignment with love
inside your mind / drawing you towards it / tentacled arm / don't want to resist it it's bringing itself back into alignment with love
back / in the familiar world
being / changed into something new
between / what we were
and / what will be

Costume
05:10
|
|||
you rode me / away from danger
you dug / your feet in me
the feel of your weight on my body
to real / to be a dream
you guided / me toward freedom
from evil / and from care
I saw / monsters in the shadows
I saw danger everywhere
you held me and stroked me and whispered in my ear
that I was only projecting me fear
once we'd settled in the city
in the city by the sea
you unzipped my armor
undid / my costuming
you helped me / snap my hooves off
and rubbed / my weary feet
you helped me / take my mask off
and locked / your eyes on me
you held me and stroked me and whispered in my ear
that I was only projecting me fear
when it was time / for you to move on
cause you needed / to be free
you put on / my old costume
i helped you / with the feet
i zipped up your horse body
and held you / close to me
you left / our apartment
and galloped / to the east
i saw / monsters in the shadows
i saw / danger everywhere
